Client Review:
Do not waste your time with this attorney. You cannot speak to her via phone and everything is done via email. Further, after setting up my appointment and paying in advance, she didn't' show up for the appointment! In fact, she doesn't even have an office - She works out of a community office shared by several attorneys. When sitting and waiting for her to show, I overheard the receptionist call her and tell her "He showed up for his appointment". She hedged her bets that I would not show so she could collect $$ without actually providing a service. Total Charlatan!!!!!! Stay away!!!!!!

Lawyer's Comment: This person's appointment was back in late April. I was running about 1/2 hour late and this person choose not to wait. This person was refunded his consultation fee right away. As the owner of the Valentine Legal Group, I can say that I do have an office and I speak with clients over the phone. While occassionally I am late to an appointment in my office (probably due to a case running late in court), I do show up for my appointments. As someone who represents consumer against big companies everyday, I don't have a reason to scam consumers. All I ask is that before making a decision about my firm and my services, do some research about us on the web. I think you will find that the amount of positive remarks about us will far outweigh this posting.

Client Review:
Sonya has been very easy to work with. She gets to the point and sets your mind at ease. I came in with a very last minute case and she was able to alleviate my concern and get straight to the matter at hand. With her help, I feel that we have a fighting chance.

Client Review:
after much disappointment for several years I finally found Sonya, she was a great breath of fresh air. she took over my case, explained all the procedures expertly and kept me informed through the whole process. although we had extreme difficulty with the attorney on the other side, she never gave up, and gave us a wonderful conclusion to a many years long problem and finally ended it for us. I cannot recommend her enough, she is a wonderful person, very knowledgeable and absolutely one of the best lawyers in he field today.

Client Review:
Sonya Smith-Valentine saved me thousands of dollars on a debt settlement!!! Her attention to my case, as well as her extensive knowledge about the creditor and process, let me know that I had found the right lawyer for my situation. In her initial consultation, she was candid about my predicament and offered several options for resolution. She is pain-stakingly detail oriented and made sure that the company had no room to position themselves for additional profit. She provides expert legal advice and her fees are very competitve. If you find yourself in a financial dilemma and are in need of professional representation, I highly recommend Sonya Smith-Valentine.
